    A public key specification can prevent this.

    The public key is your address. Nobody knows your public key directly however, just your alias. So your alias can be an email address, your nickname, whatever.

    The private key is your decrypter and the only way to access them.

    (in before that spam form).

    I don't think fire is a lifeform even though it is self replicating, can die, moves and grows on its own, and reacts to outside forces (and may attempt to consume it).

    They should also make text messaging free.

    That's right. I wrote free.

    If you put the price of a voice call, in 3 seconds to the (stupidly) expensive $.15 per minute, and compare it to the 3 seconds it would take to send a text message, you will find it negligible: .15/60 = $.0025 per second. $.0025 * 3 seconds / 10kbps for the voice data transfer = $.00075 dollars per kilobyte (aside: $.771 dollars per megabyte).

    Now let's say, for the sake of generosity, it takes a 16KB packet total, up and down for ack, all carriers, etc., to send a text message.

    It would cost $0.012 by my numbers...

    Draw your own conclusions, I am just playing with units.

    No, the max load is every component asking for electricity.

    THAT is not impossible, but very very unlikely.

    I can think of one thing that can do that actually. 2 scripts that 1. rip an audio CD to WAV. 2. convert to mp3 AND flac AND ... {for every core} when the rip to wav is done.
